"The next group to come on stage is the Tomoeda Elementary School Chorus from Tokyo, performing the song 'Friendship', led by Tomoyo Daidoji."
As the announcement was made, the children from the Tomoeda Elementary School Choir came on stage one after another.
“It’s Chiyo!”
"I remember that there was a scene in the story where Tomoyo was singing on the stage. It felt like we were really in the story."
“Come on, Tomoyo!”
No, there is no cheering group here. Which school are you talking to? They are playing a game. Is it really okay to cheer for other schools?
The child who shouted for support received a cold stare from his instructor. However, the cheers came one after another, from far more than just one or two people.
Chapter 215: Liar and Bedwetter
Tomoyo and Reiya's clubs participate in the competition, but Sakura is doing normal at school.
The last semester of the fourth grade, the fifth grade after the spring, is considered a senior. The next year is the sixth grade, and the year after that is junior high school.
Sakura was looking forward to junior high school because she, Tomoyo and Reiya had agreed to go to the same school for junior high school. That way, the three of them could always be together.
"Sakura...Kinomoto"
Just as Sakura was imagining the future, it was her classmate Yasuo who came to say hello.
Because he and Sakura had explored the "Kappa Haunted House" together, Kangfu thought they were familiar with each other, so he called her by her name. However, he didn't know what the girl thought, so after a moment of hesitation, he changed to calling her by her last name.
Generally speaking, classmates wouldn't be so picky, and it was normal to call each other by their first names even if they didn't know each other very well. However, both Sakura and Yasuo were introverted children, and they seemed to be out of tune with their classmates.
"Kanfu? Just call me by my name. What's the matter?"
Kangfu breathed a sigh of relief. The Kappa haunted house incident did indeed bring the two closer together. Among a group of "strangers" in the same class, the two were relatively familiar with each other.
However, such familiarity was limited to greeting each other at meet-and-greets. This was the first time I had specifically spoken to him since that incident.
"Thank you for saving me last time. Sakura is indeed a card captor. I've watched every episode of the TV show, but Sakura, can you share some of your Clow Cards with Freya? I think she's a good person, too."
If Sakura hadn't been with him that day, he, his sister, and the two neighbor children would have been captured by ghosts.
But Kangfu remembered clearly that there was a girl who came to save him later. She was wearing a witch's costume and holding a longbow that could break magic. Although he was not very clear-headed at the time, that scene was still deeply imprinted in his mind.
At that time, he thought she was a miko, but soon he saw her on TV. It was Freya, a card captor like Sakura.
Yasuo was willing to support Sakura, so at the end of the TV series, Sakura successfully passed the final trial and became a real Sakura Sakura. He also felt extremely honored, because she was his classmate and the girl who had gone on adventures with him.
But Freya is also a good person! After Sakura left, she saved herself and escaped from the haunted house. Not only him, but also her sister and two neighbor children were saved in the end.
So he felt it was a bit unfair that Freya was unable to become a Kuro magician.
It would be nice if Sakura could share some of the Clow Cards with Freya. They are all real magical girls, whether on TV or in real life.
Not only does he have magical powers, but he will also help people in need when he meets them.
However, this request made Sakura feel really embarrassed and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If she was really the Sakura Kinomoto in the story, she would certainly be willing to give some of the Clow Cards to Reiya, no, to Freya.
But that was just a script, she was just acting according to the script. She was the magician Kuro in the story, and Lingye was also a real magical girl in reality.
"Can't you?"
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
"Okay." Kangfu was a little disappointed, but he didn't blame Sakura. "There's nothing I can do. Actually, I have something else I want to ask you."
"Something else?"
It turns out that what he just talked about was not serious. He looked so serious that Sakura thought he came to her specifically to "seek justice" for Freya.
"Do you know Yukio? The one from Class 3, Yukio Asakura."
Sakura shook her head. She wasn't even familiar with her classmates and they rarely communicated with each other, let alone students from other classes.
"Xuefu often wets the bed, so he is always laughed at by his classmates."
He is a liar and Xuefu is a bedwetter. They are both always laughed at, so Kangfu thinks he understands Xuefu's feelings very well.
"Others say bedwetting is a disease, but Xuefu said that he actually dreams of the same super beast every night. The super beast sprays water on him, and then he wets the bed."
"Sakura, can you help him with magic?"
Yasuo seemed to be convinced that she really could do magic, but Sakura knew that she was just an ordinary girl.
Sakura Kinomoto passed the final trial and became a true Sorcerer of Cultivation.
Kangfu told her to share some Clow Cards with Freya. But he didn't know that in reality, Freya was the real magical girl, and he was just a fake one, and could only be active on TV.
"That Xuefu, is he your friend?"
Friends? Kangfu shook his head. He was a notorious liar in school, so he had no friends. Normally, his classmates were unwilling to play with him.
He just saw Xuefu, wanted to join the football team, but was laughed at by the football team because he wet the bed. He wanted to play with others, but no one wanted to play games with someone who was a laughing stock.
Isolated, just like him.
But he had to bear the consequences of his own actions, always lying. He had thought about changing his ways, but whenever he got excited while chatting with others, he couldn't control his mouth and started to brag.
What about Xuefu? He had heard that bedwetting was actually a physical disease, not intentional. Xuefu was just sick, should this thing be laughed at?
"Ying, can you help Xuefu?" Kangfu asked seriously.
"You want me to use magic to stop him from wetting the bed?"
Kangfu was stunned for a moment and shook his head. He knew Clow Magic very well and had watched every episode. There was no magic in the Clow Cards that could stop people from wetting the bed.
"I just think it would be good if I could make him braver. Sakura, can you use magic to make him brave?"
Use magic to give others courage?
Sakura didn't expect that this was what Kangfu wanted to ask of her.
In the choir competition, Chise was the lead singer and she stood in the center of the stage.
[When the light jumping between the clouds lands on the grassland, everything begins]
Chiyo's voice is soft and clear, somewhere between cute and pleasant, with a unique charm.
But it’s the emotion in the singing that really captures the audience’s attention.
She stood sideways on the stage, with Mr. Tsujitani, who was playing the piano accompaniment, next to her, and her chorus classmates on the other side of the stage.
Tomoyo was looking at the audience below the stage, but when she sang a certain part of the lyrics, she turned her head and her eyes met for a moment with Reiya who was singing in the backing group.
Ling also knew that this song was sung by Chise for herself.
If possible, she also wanted to sing to Sakura who was not here.
They have been classmates since kindergarten, and Chise's feelings towards her friends are always so pure and passionate.
Sometimes it’s so passionate that it’s almost overwhelming (especially when you’re holding a camera), but the pure emotion is irresistible.
Just like now, Tomoyo is singing to the dark crowd in this concert hall that can accommodate thousands of people.
It doesn’t matter whether or not she can advance to the finals, because Tomoyo’s song is not sung for anyone else.
The overflowing emotions are just like the friendship in the lyrics.
[Climbing towards the depths of the clouds at the other end of the long road
Even if one day the roads will separate
As we each head towards the distance
It will surely shine like the sun.
We have walked together through the years and now spend every day together.
Although I don’t know what I will encounter in the future, please take care of me.
They are best friends, always will be.
When Sakura followed Kangfu to the door of Xuefu's classroom, she found that there was no one in the classroom.
"Oh, now I remember, their class seems to be physical education class."
Standing in the corridor on the third floor and looking out, you can see the entire playground. It is already time for the get out of class to end, but since there are no other classes next, some students continue to play football.
Even without Yasuo's introduction, Sakura recognized Xuefu at a glance.
Because the boy was the only one at the court and no one was playing with him.
"That's Xuefu?"
"Yes, it's him."
As expected, I always feel a little pity for her. If it was Sakura a year ago, she actually had no right to pity the other person, because she was the same.
But now she has friends.
It's incredible. When I'm alone, I always feel that the world is dark. But once I have friends, it seems that I can do anything.
She felt as if she really had magic.
Sakura is already a celebrity in school, although she herself is not very aware of it.
We still didn't get too close to her.
But the estrangement in the past was because Sakura herself was not sociable and seemed inconspicuous. But now, it is because she is too famous that she feels distant.
Seeing such a celebrity appear in front of him, Xuefu didn't have time to feel surprised, but just felt stunned.
"Sakura Kinomoto?"
"Good afternoon," Sakura greeted.
After physical education class, if there are no club activities, you can go home.
"Xuefu, are you still asking them to let you join the football team?" Kangfu asked, he was a little annoyed. If it were him, he would have given up long ago if others ignored him.
I don’t know if being so persistent is a good thing.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Sakura was a little surprised. She thought Kangfu and Xuefu knew each other, but she didn't expect that they didn't.
"I'm Kangfu. Didn't I tell you yesterday?"
"Sorry, my memory is not very good."
